GOVERNOR POINDEXIER's LIMIT.
AN Interesting Game of Poker which
Busted Three Gamblers.

Indianapolis Journal.
A game long talked about on the river
was that played by Governor George
Poindexter of Mississippi. At one time
he was fund commissioner, or something
OF that kind, for Mississippi. de had
| business IN New York to negotiate money
on bonds, ostensibly for internal improve
ments in Mississippi. BE was returning
from that city, and had large sum Of
money with him. He left Louisville on
q small stern-Wheel boat, and three gam
| blers took passage on the same boat
They knew Poindexter's foundness for
cards, that he would play high, end they
made up plot to clean him out. In
| those days they played poker with twenty
csris-the ace, king, queen, jack and ten
of each suit. The boat was several days
in getting from Louisville to Cairo, and
Polndexter and the three sharks were
busy ct play. Then they usually played
without limit, and the result
was, the gamblers having played
their fish long enough, were about to take
him in. They had all their money on the
table. Two Of the gamblers dropped out,
and the other, making hesvy bet, piled
up his last dollar. The Governor said he
didn't nave money enough TO call MIN,
but he thought he might be able to
borrow.
every WE'LL" said the gambler, "Iu
give you just ten minutes to raise the
money"
Poindexter went to his stateroom,
where ne had an old carpet sack with a
trusty servant guarding 1t, and returned
to the gaming table, followed by the
darkeY with the carpet sack on his Shout
der.
"Now," Numbered Poindexter, as ne
threw open the sack, which was stuffed
full of bank notes, 81 will see you and go
you 100000 better! And I'll give you
an hour instead of ten minutes to raise
it,"
The faces of those gamblers would
have been picture for q painter. They
got off the boat at the first landing place
wiser and much sadder men. There was
about $4,000 on the table.

Alta meeting of the stockholders of the

following resolution was adopted:
Resolved, that the East Fort Worth

Good stone From a Queer Deposit.

A Chicago street paving contractor,
says the Chicago Herald, has just engaged
$780, QUO worth of Dakota paving stone.
The prairie region of Dakota
is about the last place we would
think of going for stone and yet
the deposit whence this stone is
taken is said to be most wonderful and
magnificent formation. 1t is called e
quartzite granite, soft when qusrried and
easily sawn out, but hardening into 8
mass finty and indestructible and non
absorbent. 1t is pronounced by eX-
perts q perfect paving stone.
But the strangest thing about it
is the formation from which it is
taken. This is found about two feet
under the prairie soil surrounding Sioux
Falls for miles and, when the thin soil
with its stunted growth of grass is
stripped off, there lies the rock, as
smooth and level as a floor. The tract
contains something like thirty square
miles and the deposit is several hundred
feet thick. Through the center of the
tract runs the Big Sioux river, whose
channel is merely rift in the rock-a
crack formed by the partial splitting Of
the whole mass. The channel is in shape
just like the letter ' end the surface Of
the deposit extends back for several
miles and precisely at right angles with
the sides Of the crevice.

Melodious. sounding electric whistles
are novelty, and are said to be taking

Electricity is now used to obtain
fluorine from hydro-huorlc acid. The
acid is electrolyzed st comparative high
potential, nearly forty volts, and the acid
thus separated into its constituent ele-
ments, hydrogen and fuorine. 1t is
thought that the isolation of fuorine will
give rise to long list of new compounds.
An ingenious method of laying con-
